stuff recently did

Did quite some stuff recently.

1. HSPICE, ADS, ANsoft simulations.

2. MOSFET miller platform.

3. Filtering inductor design.

4. PCIe going thru.

5. loop stability revisit.

 

#1: control theory and loop stability.

a. system modeling, including Laplace equation writing out, transfer function simplification.

b. stability judgment.

- sys w/ roots only on the left half s plane are stable.

- the way to get an unstable system to stable is to cancel the roots on the right half s plane or on the Im axis.

- the char eq doesnt involve zero so I dont know how to judge the effect of zeros on s plane besides the pole cancellation function. Anyway the effect of zeros can be drawn out in Bode plot.

 

#2: The best way to understand a protocol is to play the analyzer.

a. by playing ana, you get the chance of repetitively visit the sequence of the protocol, together w/ various types of errors.

b. you can even think from the perspective of the ana designers on how to layout the display of a protocol info., and what combinations of trigger conditions are useful.

In one word, no play, no study :)
